Free Self-defense class for women

25/08/2026–25/08/2026
3:00 PM–5:00 PM
Mind Body Studio - Nona Lee Building
UMSU Womens

Brought to you by the SSAF

Join us for a free, women-only self-defence workshop led by an experienced female instructor in a safe, supportive, and trauma-informed environment. Over two hours, you'll learn practical self-defence techniques, de-escalation strategies, and personal safety skills for everyday situations. The session is interactive and tailored to participants' real-life concerns, with opportunities to practise techniques, ask questions, and build confidence in recognising and responding to unsafe situations. 

No previous experience is required—just wear comfortable clothing and bring a water bottle.

This is an autonomous event and for women only.
